Mercedes-Benz said on Wednesday it has teamed up with Google on navigation and will offer 'super computer-like performance' in every car with automated driving sensors as it seeks to compete with Tesla and Chinese newcomers.
"We take a prudent approach because no-one knows how big that potential pot of gold is at this stage," Kaellenius said.
Vehicles on Mercedes' upcoming modular architecture platform will have so-called hyperscreens extending across the cockpit of the car and a comprehensive set of sensors for automated driving, Kaellenius said. Mercedes-Benz is moving from a patchwork approach of integrating software from a range of suppliers to controlling the core of its software.
Level 3 driving, for which Mercedes-Benz has received certification in Germany and Nevada in the United States, allows a driver to take their eyes off the wheel on certain roads as long as they can resume control if needed. Google and Mercedes-Benz also agreed to explore further collaboration with Google Cloud data and artificial intelligence capabilities.
